Queen of Halloween Elvira to Make Special Appearance at Fright Dome Grand Opening Weekend

Cassandra Peterson, better known as “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark,” will make a special appearance to kick off Fright Dome 2012. On grand opening night, Saturday, Sept. 29, Elvira will walk the one-of-a-kind black carpet and then meet with fans throughout the night. On Sunday, Sept. 30, she will join Fright Dome owner Jason Egan for the legendary hearse parade before spending the evening with fans.

Halloween icon and quintessential symbol of all things spooky, the one and only “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark,” was the very first television horror host to be syndicated throughout the nation. She produced, wrote and starred in the feature films Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Elvira’s Haunted Hills.

Her most recent projects include the reality series Search for the Next Elvira, the 2010-2011 return of Movie Macabre and the new web series Elvira’s Horror Hunt. Played by actress-writer Cassandra Peterson, Elvira has spent more than three decades solidifying the brand and has carved out a niche in popular American culture.
